  The storyline in my opinion is a little childish, as the scam is not very clever, and the love story lacks credibility. There is also a lack of continuity ... read more »

  Whats the deal?
  
  A plot that could have made for an interesting film, instead it just meanders through.
  
  Easy enough to watch if you can understand the politics.
